Mercurial has a similar thing, which can be a source of inspiration:
http://www.selenic.com/hg/help/revsets
On the one hand, if find it a bit overkill to have a full language for
this, but on the other hand, it allows expressing easily and explicitely
boolean operators.
I would find
git log 'grep(foo) or grep(bar)'
very intuitive and elegant, while I never know whether
git log --grep=foo --grep=bar
is a OR or a AND (there was a patch recently to clarify the doc).
Note that Mercurial's version seem to really act on sets of commits, not
just individual commits, as it allows things like
hg log -r 'sort(date("May 2008"), user)'
or the equivalent of git's negative revision argument :
"x - y"
Changesets in x but not in y.
So it would be more a new "git log --filter='some expression'", not a
--pretty=lua.
